119. Allegiance
Red Leaf Castle, the castle lord's mansion.
The sun outside the room was about to set in the west, bringing a touch of sunlight to the dark-sheltered house.
Sandru was a little uncomfortable and swayed slightly, but did not pull the curtain up as usual.
"You've decided?"
A man in a gray robe said leisurely.
Unlike Sandru, he had been hiding himself in a dark part of the room.
"Yes!"
Sandru took a deep breath and said in the affirmative.
"Have you thought about such consequences? The Order will not allow a second-level researcher to defect to a nobleman who has a tendency to oppose the undead! ”
The man's voice tended to be stern, but Sandru, who seemed to have taken off a layer of shackles, did not care.
"Becky World, is there a country that is not against us?"
“......”
The man was choked by Sandru's words, and he was speechless for a while.
"Phoenix, my friend! Do you remember what our original intention was when we established Deya? ”
Sandru looked at the sun outside the window and said distractedly.
"Of course! So that we can walk in the sun, instead of being in the company of damned graves, we've been fighting for it all these years, and we've sacrificed many of our Mentors who have risen to the rank of Legend! And today, I saw a deserter! Sandru, you actually want to betray the organization that cultivated you and become a lackey of the nobility?! ”
The more Phoenix spoke, the more angry he became, and his whole figure shook for a while, as if it would disappear at any moment.
"Okay old friend, I'm just a simple projection array, don't break it for me, I don't have a place to reimburse it now!"
Sandru smiled and didn't explain.
After a moment of silence, Phoenix spoke.
"So, you're really breaking away from the organization?"
Phoenix's mood was visibly low, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Phoenix, I don't want to get rid of the past, I'm proud to be an undead archmage! So it is now, and so it will be in the future! But Deya has changed, and when did our initial walk in the sun become a nation of necromancers? There are so many opportunities to turn around and compromise, why cling to the so-called bottom line of establishing a 'kingdom of the dead'! Are they for all the necromancers, or for themselves......"
Sandru tries to convince his friend, but is interrupted by Phoenix.
"Enough! What do you guys who only know how to fiddle with corpses in the lab! Without our sacrifice, who would take you seriously! Without a strong country to back it up, those agreements are just pieces of waste paper! Today we lay down our arms, and tomorrow what awaits us is the burn at the stake at the gates of those temples! ”
"But ......"
"Whew!"
Sandru wanted to say something, but Phoenix unilaterally cut off the spell channel.
"Hey!"
Sandru held back his words, but finally let out only a sigh.
Necromancers are the most soul-related profession, and souls are the backyard of the gods. The gods may be able to tolerate a loose group of necromancers, but they will never allow an established undead kingdom, as that would make it possible to mass-produce necromancers.
It doesn't matter if a few ants steal food, but if a nest of ants appears in the garden, and it grows in exponential multiples, the god doesn't mind destroying them with his own hands.
If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain!
Sandru has also been bound to Morey's side recently, out of that fanatical atmosphere, and only then did he slowly realize it, but unfortunately his old friend has been completely blinded by hatred.
"Boom! Boom! ”
A knock outside the door interrupted Sandru's thoughts.
"Master Sandru, the banquet is about to begin!" Outside the door, I remembered the voice of the maid.
"Got it, I'll go down now."
Sandru glanced at the gray robe that had been taken off again, smiled and pushed the door open and walked out.
In the hall on the first floor of the castle, a huge long table was placed in the large hall, and magic candles were inserted one by one on the chandelier above his head and the candlesticks on the table, illuminating the space as if it were daylight.
After clinking glasses with the businessman who came to pull in a relationship, Morey walked over to Corey's side.
"Isn't Sandru here yet?" Morey nodded and smiled, and sent off another head of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Young master, I've already sent someone up to invite you!" Corey was busy today, and Morey suddenly wanted to invite the head of Red Leaf City to a big banquet, and he only slept for four hours last night.
Determining the dishes, purchasing, formulating the order of greeting, etc., it is really Morey who moves his mouth and Cory who breaks his leg.
Looking at Corey, who looked a little tired, Morey couldn't help but be a little moved, Corey can actually assign these things, as long as he does the things to welcome the dinner, but he is worried that his subordinates will make mistakes due to inexperience, so he does everything himself, so the amount of labor will come up.
"I made two new [Tranquility Elixirs], you can go to my place and get them when the time comes, and see how the effect is!"
"Okay, young master!"
Corey naturally knew that this was Morey's concern for him, and his body, which was still slightly tired just now, seemed to be exhausted all at once.
"Actually, that young master, I think Miss Vicky is also ......"
"Hey, Johnson is here, I need to pick him up! You're busy first! ”
Morey now hears the word "Vicky" in his head, and in the past two days, Corey has been talking to her in front of him, saying how kind Vicky is, how the maid is not punished for breaking things, how smart she is, the spells taught by Sandru can be used at a glance, and even Paramount was fed fat by her, and she has to say that she loves small animals!
If the "donkey" was a cute little animal, Morey vowed to eat the table that could seat a hundred people at once.
Morey, who had never been urged to marry in his previous life, finally made up for this regret.
So as soon as Johnson entered the hall, he was instantly hugged by a big hug from the "enthusiastic" Morey, and then a hand was held by Morey.
Looking at Morey's happy expression in front of him, the envious looks of the businessmen beside him, and the resentful eyes of Corey in the distance, Johnson's pitiful mind only had a series of questions - where am I? What am I doing?
After grabbing poor Johnson and swinging around, Morey finally saw Sandru dressed in a white robe.
Letting go of the helpless city guard commander, Morey walked briskly forward, stood in the main seat, picked up the spoon and tapped the cup gently.
"When! While! ”
The crisp sound suddenly suppressed all the sounds, and everyone was quietly waiting for the Lord of Red Leaf City to speak.
"Thank you for being able to participate in this banquet today, in addition to thanking you for your help to Red Leaf City, but also to introduce a new member of Red Leaf City to everyone!"
With that, Morey moved a position to the side, allowing Sandru to take the main seat.
"Hello everyone, I'm Sandru!"
After a dinner party, the news that the undead master, the quasi-legendary mage, and Sandru had sworn allegiance to Morey spread throughout the Far East, and everyone was surprised by Sandru's choice, but also secretly admired Morey.
I admire that he can subdue a mage with quasi-legendary strength, and I also admire him for not caring about the identity of Sandru necromancer, after all, it is always a temple taboo to take in a necromancer.
Therefore, some people conclude that sooner or later Morey will abandon Sandru due to the pressure of the temple, and even collapse as a result.
But no matter whether they were shocked or frightened, or jealous and cursed, it could not change the fact that Morey already possessed the ability to hold two cities, and truly became a force to be reckoned with in the Far East.
